Galleon Gold Completes Box Cut Excavation at West Cache Project
Galleon Gold announced completion of the box cut excavation at its 100%-owned West Cache Gold Project (Timmins, Ontario) on April 29, 2026, marking a transition toward underground development and bulk sampling. The exposed bedrock and 4:1 excavation walls enable preparation for blasting, ramp construction and an upcoming 86,500-tonne bulk sample program. Management says permitting and financing are in place, and surface infrastructure (roads, water treatment, hydro) is largely complete. Market impact: this operational milestone de-risks the project, supporting positive investor sentiment toward the company and underlying gold exposure, while further updates on ramp development and stope timelines could catalyze equity moves.
